I wrote a Haiku and she thought it grand,
I wrote an Acrostic she held my hand,
I wrote her a Quatern she held me tight,
I’m writing an Epic, wait till tonight!
I wrote her a Triolet, made her sigh,
I wrote her a Sonnet that made her cry,
My Sapphic ode made her shake and dance,
But my Limerick made her wet her pants!
Iambic trimeter won her stare,
Straight ballad meter, she touched her hair,
Iambic pentameter made her grin,
Dactylic hexameter, I was in!
She read my Shakespeare, and said “I adore”
She browsed my Milton and wanted Moore.
Perused my Browning “Divine.” She said.
Viewed my Longfellow, laid on my bed.
She grabbed an ice cube and taught me Frost,
We waxed some Burns then and I was lost.
We took to Pound, which was quite a treat,
Then lots of cummings, made all complete.
Author notes
I am sure this looks like everything else in the contest, I am sorry. It is not a mistake, out of respect I did not capitalize cummings on purpose, as he never did.

I missed this when you wrote it
Damn!!!
Because it's bloody good

Quite an interesting play on words here and I must say, it did leave me chuckling. A bit edgy but it worked and was wise and witty.
Well done poet. Welcome to the clan. ~Pamela

Cannonsfire sent me here and I am so glad she did. Gave me a great laugh. Enjoyed this from start to finish. Alas, I now need to look up all the meanings of each individual form of poetry!

LOLOLOL Rolling with laughter at the wit of this, I loved it and the style used. Brilliant, thanks for the gigles and I hope your cummings did not fall short

Well that was wordsworth

LOL "But my Limerick made her wet her pants!" You sure know the way to a girl's heart. This is a riot and it's funnier because it's written so well.
Love,
Amera♥
